          Introduction to Hdparm
        </h2>
        <p>
          The <span class="application">Hdparm</span> package contains a
          utility that is useful for obtaining information about, and
          controlling ATA/IDE controllers and hard drives. It allows to
          increase performance and sometimes to increase stability.
        </p>
        <p>
          This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-9.1
          platform.

            Warning
          </h3>
          <p>
            As well as being useful, incorrect usage of <span class=
            "application">Hdparm</span> can destroy your information and in
            rare cases, drives. Use with caution and make sure you know what
            you are doing. If in doubt, it is recommended that you leave the
            default kernel parameters alone.

          Installation of Hdparm

          Build <span class="application">Hdparm</span> by running the

        <pre class="userinput">
